Because ‘Christian Life Coaching ‘build’s and maintains Motivation for the Journey!..
The Bible exhorts us to pursue Vision; for without Vision, God’s people perish!
Coaching is about growing & encouraging ‘momentum!’ Helping people learn, rather than telling them!
In the future, those who are not Coach’s will not be promoted. Why? Because Coaching is about ‘Growth & Vision.
So, it’s time to let go of those things behind and ‘press’ toward the Goal for the prize of God’s Calling on Our life.
How to live free from Rejection!
The spirit behind ‘Rejection’ is a harsh and often cruel Task-Master!
It works like this: say for example in the area of Public Speaking or addressing an audience, the fear of getting it all wrong will drive you to dwell upon it until you feel sick!.
In your heart there is no escape! And by now fear has convinced you will never be able to face an audience again. You’ve done your best. You have rehearsed, memorised chunks of material but there’s no way out of it; you’re Stuck! Or at least your Soul is Stuck!
Thankfully the heart say’s another truth about you.
The heart say’s that “you can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you!” And that through His Word He tells you how much he is loves you. He also knows the plans He has for you, to prosper to give you a hope and a future.”
So next time you are called to speak, confront, challenge or release your God-given gifts, KNOW that you are doing it through Him. AND NOT YOU! Ask for His help and He will send The Spirit to intervene
When we are not affirmed by a Godly ‘father figure’, life can be an up-hill struggle.
God the Father ordained that man should not be alone, but be placed in families where mutual trust and encouragement would be the norm. Our value and worth is related to what we do and how we are nurtured within the context of ‘Family’.
And yet as the very fabric of ‘families in society’ wears so thin, even fathers are now relinquishing their traditional and God made roles of authority and affirmation.
Increasingly marriages are breaking down and children and young adults are growing up without a strong concept of ‘fathering’. It is truly amazing what people can do when they know the strength of a father figure rooting for them.
So, my call is “Arise, ‘father figures’ in the church and let us make a positive move to re-dress the balance.”
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
The truth though is that if you only keep those plans tucked away inside the pages of your Bible, or hidden in the book shelf, you can pretty much say good-bye to those plans. What a tragic waste of potential!
I have good news for you – “You can have your cake and eat it!” “And enjoy it!”
But first we have to get rid of some religious mind set’s that we Christians tend to wallow in, well I do at least! So what better way to expose the lies of the flesh and the Devil than to recite out loud the Truth!
To be spoken out loud five times each two times a day….
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Phil 4:13
“I press towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus,” (Phil 3:13)
“And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, (Eph 2:6)
TheLord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27
Jesus took the blame and the shame for my sins – on my behalf! He died for me, the death that I should have died – such were my sins!
But how I have struggled with this truth. It’s like being handed an incredibly expensive luxury vehicle free of charge (An Aston Martin please Lord!) which is a totally unearned, undeserved and an unexpected favour. ‘A Gift out of the blue!’ You might say.
Christian Life Coaching
So when it comes to my body being sick, can I really accent the gift of Jesus’ atoning work on the Cross? Jesus Himself took my sickness upon Himself? On my behalf.
There’s no way I can accept it Unless… I renew my mind to the truth that makes me free!
I need to meditate in my heart upon the truth. I begin to ‘see’ in my heart the promise of God’s healing grace working in my body.
The Bible tells us – ‘For as he thinks in his heart so is he..’ (Prov.23:7)
The imagination has a powerful role in bringing forth God’s promises of Grace, through faith in Jesus, the Word.
Imagine that!
The Christian Life is a journey of greater and greater discovery and adventure- the journey of a Lifetime you could say. Here are some keys to help you on the way.
The Journey of a Lifetime
Jesus say’s “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life” (Scrip; John 14:6)
With so much competing for our attentions these days it is very easy to get our eyes off the purpose for our journey which is – to know Jesus more!
So, here are some Biblical ‘keys’ to help you on your way.
1. Be filled with the fresh oil of the Holy Spirit. Welcome Him, honour Him and follow Him.
2. Study The Map Book of Life – ‘The Holy Bible’. There you will find the quickest and most effective route to reaching your Destination ‘In Christ’ Jesus.
3, Let go of where you’ve been and keep your eyes on where you are going.
4. Have your lights shining and your indicators clearly illuminating your direction, so that others know where you are going.
5. Let go of where you have been and embrace where you are now. Always ready to move on as and when The Holy Spirit directs.
6. Ensure your exhaust is removing toxic syptoms of stress etc.
7. Your Speed, not too fast so as not to enjoy the journey and not too slow so as to endanger others.
8. Regular maintenance and cleaning so as to shine and radiate Jesus.
Enjoy your Journey!

A ‘Talent’ was a measure of worth in New Testament times. Their intrinsic value was based upon the fact they were made of either Gold or Silver.
They were used to purchase goods and services, in the same way use coins today.
As New Testament Believers we each have been given value and worth in our God given Gifts and Talent, as a means of ‘purchasing’ as it were, the Kingdom of Heaven. It takes time and money to Evangelise and to build churches and to train Leaders.We must be diligent to seek out those who have a passion to train and mentor future leaders, Creative Artists, Singers, Financiers, Entrepreneurs and Ministries.
We need Talent Spotters and opportunities to train talent.
There is so much Gold in ‘them-there-Hills” (our churches and house groups) and it’s up to each one of us to Mine it and use it.
Please read Matthew 25:14
